I’ve been a naturalist—an amateur one—as long as I can remember. I’m currently a part of the Metchosin Biodiversity Project. We have been doing species counts in the district where I live since 2011. We’ve found at least 2900 nonhuman neighbours. I maintain the database and website for the project. On the website you can find many reports and pictures. It is at http://metchosinbiodiversity.com. Come for a visit.
In recent years, I’ve found myself specializing in bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) and in mushrooms and other fungi. About a dozen times a year I find myself leading mushroom and moss walks. Here’s a video made by Whistler’s Pique magazine of one of the walks I did for the annual Whistler Fungus Among Us event.
